Foodies and francophiles, get this on your radar, because top American chef Daniel Rose is soon going to open his very first London restaurant.
Rose, an American chef specialising in French cuisine, is the man behind the Michelin-starred Le Coucou in New York and La Bourse et La Vie in Paris. Now it’s been revealed that Rose will open Le Perroquet inside London’s brand new branch of the St Regis hotel in Mayfair, which is taking over from the now-closed Westbury hotel.
For London Rose will be sticking with the whole French thing and opening an all-day brasserie with a menu of refined classics that still retain their heritage. Exact details of the menu are yet to be revealed, but we do know that it will be centred around ‘expertly crafted sauces, vegetables prepared with care, roasting as an art form, and desserts that comfort as much as they delight’.
The relaxed restaurant will have a fluid menu that can roll through from breakfast into dinner, and hopes to have an atmosphere that welcomes all sorts of diners looking for quick bites, spontaneous dinners or long lunches.
Rose will work alongside executive head chef Robert Aikens, who comes from most recently leading the reopening of Pastis in New York.
Rose said: ‘For me, the brasserie is one of the most complete forms of a restaurant. It’s not about invention – it’s about doing things properly, with attention and care. It should feel alive, and part of the city around it. That’s what we hope to create here.’
Le Perroquet is expected to open in autumn 2026 with the launch of the London St Regis.
